Pseudomonas aeruginosa has increasingly been associated with the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance among P. aeruginosa isolates is an ambiguous and complicated mechanism utilizing several enzymes and structural proteins. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of mutations in the chromosomal OprD gene that show resistance to carbapenems among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa.
